The Death Blow.

The true i%nwardness of the Aber-
deem convention is becoming even
more. apparent since its adjournment.
Not only does the memorial purpose
that admission be delayed until after
the presidential election, but by the
action of this convention. the stigma
that public sentiment attaches to the
democratic congress for ignoring the
claims of the territory will be remov-
ed. But for the proceedings at Aber-
deem, the democratic candidates for
congress next fall. would have been
obliged to face the charge of injustice
toward Dakota. which issue would
undoubtedly have recovered several
northern districts tn the republicans.
However. in the light of the work
of this convention. congress a aud
will say that the people of Dakota do
not ask for admission until after the
presidential election. Congress now
has a preteXt for doing nothing what
ever, and the one-state convention has
given them that preteNt. The demo-
cratic managers have successfully de-
layed admission; have prolonged their
hold OH the territorial offices: have
shifted the responsibility OF non-ad-
mission from congress to the people
of the territory. and have destroyed
one of the most formidable obstacles
in the way of their success in the
presidential election. And the re-
publicans in the Aberdeen convention
have been their able assistants. The
republicans in the convention have
wrought untold injury to the territory
and the party ut large. Gov. Church
has recently been engaged i'll pro-
tracted consultation with the party
leaders in Washington. He returned
to Bismarck Just in time to prevent
the publication of the official returns
of the peoples vote on division. and
went to Aberdeen just before the con-
ventiun assembled. This whole mis-
cradle business from beginning to end
Was %concocted to act us the death
blow to the early admission of the
territory. and it has been a brilliant
success.-Grand Forks Herald.
